I'll need the following items posted to my friend in the UK, then she'll post them to me in Kenya.
**13cm quill stem: **£10 - £15 budget
I've found a nice Cinelli Oyster stem in 120mm.
~~
**44cm bars: **~~£10 - 15 budget
Found some lovely bars.
**STIs & cassette & chain:** £50 - 70ish budget UPDATE: I've found some 600 Tricolour STIs, so I'm running 8 speed! Still need the cassette and chain, can pay about £20 max.
Front road hub: £10 - £20 budget
With 16/20/24 holes, please!
Rolls saddle: £20ish budget
I'm not too picky here, as long as it's a Rolls!
25c - 28c tyres (pair): £20ish budget
Something in this width range for the poor road conditions here. Ideally quite lightweight too.
Bar tape: £5ish budget
Black is the only sensible option.
Kool Stop salmon brake pads: - - - OR - - - Shimano brake pad holders: £5-10 budget
I found two pairs of Clarks Shimano brake pad holders for a nice £7.50.
Pinarello Decals: £10 budget
The model is an early 90s Stelvio, but I'd be glad to simply find a few white PINARELLO decals and the head badge decal.
My project
The parts are for a Pinarello Stelvio purchased here in Nairobi for Ksh13,000 (£95.33). Whilst it was a bloody lucky find, it needs some work, as:
the paint is quite shabby,
the STIs function only as brake levers, and the extra D/T shifters are rubbish
the rear rim is hefty chrome steel (stamped "RALEIGH ENGLAND")
